Yep, I came home from work yesterday, opened my mail box, and in it set a gift from the land down under… I opened it and found a very nice letter, a very cool trout sticker and, a set of the way coolest Blue Dun flies you could hope to see. Very well tyed good work and now I have a set of original fly’s from the other side of the world , to head up into the hills of Virginia with and temp our native brookies… Talk about distance casting!!! lol
Thank you Gringo!!! They are some sharp looking flies and I am looking forward to trying them on the waters here, of course I will will only use a couple and keep the others for models to tye from…
Ha, ha, a spey cast for sure! He probably tied them while listening to Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I am still working on a surprise for Gringo too. He is a really great guy!
Hey Mike,
As you know, Aussies are some very special folks…at least to me. I befriended a number of 'em in Vietnam. Unfortunately, I was med-evac’d home 2 weeks before my Australian R & R. I STILL regret that…great, laid back people. I currently work with a young lady who is a “transplant” from Australia & every day Debbie serves as a reminder of what fantastic people inhabit that Island Nation…They’re pretty good to have along side when trouble starts too.
